Jezze is a modern, stylistic respelling of Jesse, used as a unisex given name. Jesse derives from Hebrew Yishai (also rendered Yishay), interpreted as "gift" and, by folk etymology, "Yahweh exists/is." Through the Latin Iesse, the name entered medieval Europe with biblical translations; English usage was reinforced after the Reformation, when Protestant families favored Old Testament names. The father of King David, Jesse lends the name a strong biblical pedigree and inspired the medieval "Tree of Jesse" motif.

Contemporary spellings like Jezze reflect trends toward phonetic play and doubled letters, while keeping the soft "jez" sound found in British nicknames such as Jez (for Jeremy) and Jezza.
